    Update stakeholders based on their involvement and project phases. Key stakeholders should receive weekly updates during active phases, while less-involved stakeholders can be updated biweekly or monthly. Always align updates with milestones, ensuring clear communication of progress, risks, and decisions to keep everyone informed and engaged effectively.

    You can run a quick survey on all stakeholders to arrive at a consensus on when to have meetings. I don't particularly appreciate having meetings that are too frequent and distracting to the work. I will leverage electronic collaboration tools like Emails, Chat Groups, SharePoints, and Dashboards to keep stakeholders updated. Physical meetings when projects reach milestones that require inputs from them.

    The frequency of updates for stakeholders depends directly on the project. For each new project, I start by defining the personas, mapping the stakeholders, and developing the strategic plan, which includes a detailed schedule. Based on this schedule, I identify each person's role in the project and determine the ideal frequency for updates. Of course, the more engaged the team is, the better the results. However, I understand that everyone's time is limited, so it’s essential to be strategic when deciding when and how to involve them, ensuring that interactions are both productive and efficient

    Ad hoc meetings as much as it needed. In addition to that short heads up ( Nemawashi in Japanese ) before each meeting would be beneficial.

    The frequency of updates to project stakeholders should align with their level of interest and influence. High-interest and high-influence stakeholders typically require weekly or bi-weekly updates through meetings and detailed reports, while medium-interest stakeholders can be updated bi-weekly or monthly via email summaries or dashboards. Low-interest stakeholders may only need monthly or milestone-based updates through newsletters or brief summaries. Key decision-makers and sponsors should be informed at major milestones or when decisions are needed, using concise executive summaries. Consistent, clear, and tailored communication is essential, with flexibility to adjust based on feedback or project changes.
